See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction listing, which is a major purchase constraint. At €64,125 plus an estimated €200/m² renovation (~€60,000) the effective cost is ≈€124k (≈€414/m²), above the regional baseline of €360/m², so the score is low despite the parcel size and garages.
More on the house and the area
Bright, recently refreshed interiors (modern kitchen, neat bathroom, new-looking floors and windows) make this feel immediately liveable. The building exterior is unremarkable and the advertised large courtyard/land isn’t shown in the photos, so confirm outdoor space and legal layout before committing.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€20,000 – €34,000
Wiring, water and sanitary work of any kind, heating, air conditioning and gas go to a registered firm by law, and so do flues and the air openings for gas appliances. That labour stays in the bill. Yours is the stripping out, plaster, paint, floors, tiling and carpentry.
Labour is 61% of a renovation price on average and 67% at the median, across 191 items of the Emilia-Romagna 2025 public price list. Materials are the rest. An averaged price list, not a quote.
Materials you buy yourself carry 22% VAT; supplied by the firm doing the work they go at the 10% renovation rate. On a €30,000 materials bill that is €3,600 of extra tax.
Household wiring installed before 13 March 1990 counts as compliant if it has a main breaker with overcurrent protection, protection against direct contact and a 30 mA RCD. Having a firm bring the existing wiring up to that and certify it is the cheapest lawful route.
- Exterior shots are bland — photos don’t show a photogenic villa façade despite the listing calling it a villino.
- No clear photo of the large 1,400 m² courtyard/land mentioned in the description — verify outdoor space and access before bidding.
- Cadastral complexity (two units + large garage area) and missing/odd data in the facts (e.g. baths = 0) — check floorplans, utilities and titles.
Estimate from the listing and its photos, not a survey. Treat it as the starting point for your own quotes. An Italian builder's quote is normally written without VAT and without design fees, so add about a quarter to any figure a firm gives you.
The area around
Location score 61/100The cluster sits on the low hills between the Adriatic coast and the first rises toward the Maiella massif, with the mountain range visible in clear weather but outside the immediate 15 km landscape. The Foro river runs nearby and reaches the Adriatic at Francavilla al Mare. Within roughly 15 km are the coast at Francavilla al Mare and Ortona, with beaches and a working port. Chieti is the nearest larger town, with a substantial historic centre, services, a university presence and museums. The area is known for vineyards and olive groves in the coastal hills, including Montepulciano d’Abruzzo wine production.
